News that wine drinkers don't want to hear
NYT article, but I found a non-paywall version.

quote:
Scorched, Parched and Now Uninsurable: Climate Change Hits Wine Country

Sunscreen on grapes. Toilet water that is treated and used for irrigation. Napa Valley winemakers are taking extreme steps in the face of climate change.

Cities here have been using it for landscape water for decades. Don't drink the water from purple pipes (even though you probably could without ill effect).
